The term "CROOKED HORN" refers to the top part of a moonshine still. Bob McGinnis' Irish heritage and Frynk Guertin's Franco-Native origins make them the brewmasters of the most unique sound of "Toe tapping, knee slapping, hand clapping, jump up-on-the-table, good-time FUN". Their show combines the best of Traditional Celtic music with their own Ontario Shanty Style, infusing them with an energy that becomes contagious.... The duo are now touring with a full band sound thanks to the addition of Johnny Lalonde on drums and the bass/vocal sounds of James McKinnon. Crooked Horn's Original songs address all aspects of one's personality. The lyrics were inspired by the McGinnis Homestead (between the villages of Fallbrook and Maberly in Lanark County) Bobby draws on his memories of Fallbrook and it's rural life, both past and present. Contrast plays an important part in the music which exalts the serenity of the meadows, trees, brooks and the chaotic energy of hoe-downs on hardwood floors in winter. With lyrics as true now as they would have been 100 yrs. ago, Crooked Horn's music embodies something that exists outside the boundaries of time. ENJOY ! |
